The Steve Jobs bio is as hot as a new Apple iPhone |
The Steve Jobs biography is 656 pages, published by Simon and Schuster, and costs $35. It had the best sales week for any book in the U.S. since last November when 430,000 units of both Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and George W Bush's "Decision Points" were sold.
Besides owning the current top spot online, the book is also number one on Amazon's Kindle platform and on Apple's iBooks. Competitive in life, Mr. Jobs continues to garner number one rankings, even in death.

Why is it hating to recognize the man had many personal flaws? He was certainly a visionary, and a charismatic salesman. He was also vindictive, egomaniacal, and maybe a bit paranoid. He had no problem with stealing other people's ideas, but wanted to "go thermonuclear" if another product bore even the slightest resemblance to his. By all accounts he was abusive to employees, and his greatest flaw was spending years denying his daughter. Of all his flaws, this was the saddest.

A copy should be included with each 4S purchase at Apple Stores.

I'm just a visionary.. Why pay when I don't have to? Yeah I rip files off the net.. Watch movies on my phone before they are out of the theater.. I enjoy my 40 gigs of music via torrents.. Store them in my comp and stream via zumocast. Go ahead buy your over priced books and music from I tunes. Maybe your just pissed because you simply can't do that on your phone cest la vie my friend. If there were 3 car dealerships one selling full retail.. One selling it cheaper because its used.. And one where you can get a car for free I bet you would go to the one to pay full price... wait in this case you don't even have the option.. Welcome to your reality displacement field.. Enjoy.

Thanks for admitting you're a thief. Don't you realize it costs money to make movies and music? If everyone was like you and stole it they wouldn't exist.
Your example sucks. What you're actually saying is a new car, a used car or I can just steal a car for free.
That's what you're doing. Stealing.

What a waste of money!!! He might have been great visionary and one of the most successful CEOs of all time, but I wish it would really tell who the real Steve Jobs was. He was a pompous,hateful,vengeful,jealous,selfish,devious prick!!! And fanboys adore him. I can't understand the obsession you guys have for this man.SMH!!!

Come on now, Apple! Bundle this PoS exclusively with your new cr*p and charge the iF*gs $200 more. That's the way to do business, morons. How come you forgot it this time!

Its what your idol did... Must make it ok. Obviously the movie industry doesn't die because of it. Doesn't mean I never go to the theater.. Or buy a CD I really like :). ITunes more than makes up for what I get by overcharging so its ok :) thanks : D
